Tennessee reportedly losing 5-star freshman to NCAA transfer portal
Tennessee snapped an SEC Tournament title drought that stretched back to 1979 this past season, doing so with some key freshmen in the rotation.
Kennedy Chandler and Zakai Zeigler played huge minutes, while Brandon Huntley-Hatfield and Jonas Aidoo were key players off the bench.
But, on Sunday, per a report from Matt Zenitz of On3 Sports, Huntley-Hatfield has decided to enter the NCAA transfer portal:

This doesn’t necessarily mean Huntley-Hatfield will leave Knoxville, but the former 5-star forward will explore his options ahead of the 2022-23 season.
Huntley-Hatfield appeared in 35 games for the Vols this past season, making 13 starts. He averaged 3.9 points and 2.9 rebounds per contest.
It’s safe to say he’ll draw a ton of interest in the portal.
